Employee Testimonials

SoundThinking is unique in the valley because the technology we develop demonstrably saves lives and makes communities safer, while every member of our team embraces the company mission with a passion I’ve never before seen. And it’s icing on the cake that this is one of the most fun, diverse groups of people with whom I’ve worked.

Being a part of the SoundThinking team is truly a blessing. I grew up in one of the cities that we support. It’s amazing to work for a company that cared enough about my community to do something about the gun violence and murders we were experiencing. I’m thankful for being a part of this effort.

You feel valued as an employee from day 1. From colleagues really caring about you, and upper management wanting you to grow as a person and giving you the tools to make that happen. You are part of something special and everyone here wants the same thing- make the world a safer place.

To know that every day you are valued, and that I am an integral part of a force committed to making our communities safer is an incredible feeling.
